Post a controversial music opinion

he sounds great doing the baas at the beginning of “sheep” tho

a great baas player

On reflection, both More Blues and Seamus are also pretty negligible. I don't think they knew how to stamp their personality on blues changes until Shine On parts III and VI.

The only bad song Pink Floyd released between 1967 and 1977 was Biding My Time on Relics. Money is borderline (both blues songs).

You are Geir Hongro and I claim my five pounds

Who thinks Pink Floyd's forte was playing the blues?

No one, you're right there. Although describing a song performed in 7/4 as "blues" is pushing the term a bit too far.

Anyway, I don't think he would like Interstellar Overdrive, Quicksilver etc.

I think Pink Floyd are OK.

I do love "Money", though.

Based on that video of Nick Mason mock-playing the drums on 'Remember a Day', I should have guessed that he did not, in fact, play drums on 'Remember a Day'.

I like the Gilmour songs on The Wall, and a few Syd songs, and I find 70s Roger Waters oddly very attractive, but that's the limit of my defence for this truly abominable band

Man, this thraed has been on rocket fuel over the last few days.

Natalie Merchant sounds like a calligraphy teacher doing karaoke. That's not necessarily a criticism.

Why must you do this to me, fgti, why?

😢

I didn't really "get" the hype about Motown until the Complete Motown Singles CD sets started being released. I convinced my mom to get them for my dad, and then would steal them for myself for a few months. Hearing the breadth of how much was being recorded and how the sound was developed allowed me to really understand why certain artists were more popular that others, even if those more popular artists were never my faves.

is OTM (at least prior to their more album-oriented '70s releases, which I've loved forever). I think a lot of the more popular singles have definitely suffered from overfamiliarity but also some of the more popular singles aren't actually all that great. But hearing a slew of Motown b-sides and underplayed singles definitely boosted my overall esteem for their output and helped me appreciate acts I'd long overlooked (I'm so sorry, Gladys).

I love Piper but I've never really been able to get into much more of Pink Floyd's stuff. Oh, I guess I really liked 'Learning to Fly' when it was released.

Gilly is the Emperor of the Tone Zone

yeah OL, agreed that my experience of Motown def changed once i got into the 70s.

probably think this thread should be locked now that it's reached "pink floyd doesn't rule" levels

nobody ever posts anything positive on this thread, it’s always “I don’t like this”

OL your descriptions never cease to confound and amaze me

nobody ever posts anything positive on this thread, it’s always “I don’t like this”

Fine here is a controversial opinion that is also on topic... I listened to "...Reason" and "The Division Bell" often in high school, and revisited last year to confirm the following: despite their poor reputation, they are easily as good as anything from Pink Floyd's "classic" period

lol hadrian

Ok here’s one: Ooh! Yeah is the best 80s Hall & Oates album

Ratt are underrated songwriters

That's more like it

I appreciate that

I have been really into hair metal lately

Ratt are underrated songwriters

I said elsewhere not long ago that Ratt's 2010 album Infestation was a "didn't know they had it in them" level comeback record ignored (of course) by 99% of critics.

The only 'positive' opinions that could live up to this thread's premise are things like 'Tom MacDonald is a superlative rapper and his lyrics are on point'.

division bell is awesome i'm with you there fgti. momentary lapse of reason... way less so

hm what could i contribute to this thread

they're more inconsistent for sure, but at their peaks incubus were as good a band as fugazi

That's a worthy contribution.

I saw them open for... sugar ray in 97 or 98. the other opener was gold-finger

they were better than either of the other two, I’ll give em that

I actually checked that out based recently, surprisingly good and vintage Ratt sounding!

Out of the Cellar is better than any Motley Crue

kula shaker, ocean colour scene and dodgy all had some good songs. it's all coming out now. fuck y'all

especially dodgy

just so angry at football that this is what I am posting

Post-grunge is underrated to this day.

I still like the Libertines

I like cookies

the best third-wave ska is as good as any pop punk or emo of the warped tour era

I don't like any of those things so fair enough I guess

Based on the relative quality of their lyrics and music, I don't understand why Big K.R.I.T. isn't more popular and critically well-regarded than Kendrick Lamar or Run the Jewels.

krit probably deserves to be remembered as one of the best rappers of the early 2010s, he became unfashionable kinda quickly unfortunately

he's very good

Whitesnake's "Still of the Night" is a superior composition and performance to anything released by Led Zeppelin after 1975.

hmmmm
